~ J HE PHILOSOPHY 

OF HEALTH. 



;\ 



HEALTH IS THE NATURAL 
BIRTHRIGHT OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL. 



;\ 



METAPHYSICAL HEALING 

OR 

THE PHILOSOPHY OF HEALTH 

Is an applied science based upon known 
laws of spiritual force and mental action, 
through which material objects are governed 
in their apparently independent movements. 

The movements of material bodies in the 
universe correspond to certain Spiritual 
Forces. 

The movements of the atoms comprising 
living physical bodies correspond to and 
conform with thought or mental action, ac- 
cording to definite laws. 

Mind, or the intelligent thinking principle 
in man, governs and controls the action of 
its own body, either consciously or other- 
wise, as the case may be, through an intri- 
cate variety of laws of mental activity, 
which, when understood, may be used to 
advantage by every one who will take the 
trouble to learn. 

It is because these laws are not more 
generally known and followed that various 



unhealthy conditions prevail, most of which 
may be removed, and in future avoided, 
through a correct understanding of the real 
laws which underlie action, and on which 
health is based — for health is the natural 
birthright of every individual, but its enjoy- 
ment rests upon definite principles of har- 
mony and wholeness, which cannot be 
transgressed even accidentally without cor- 
responding results of discord ensuing; hence, 
knowledge of law is the key to health. 

These facts have been learned through 
long continued investigation, and proved by 
repeated instances of healing of nearly every 
known form of sickness, results which are 
vouched for by hundreds of the most intel- 
ligent families in the land, including mem- 
bers of nearly all the professions and im- 
portant branches of business. 

Thinking people of recognized ability are 
those who the most readily comprehend the 
principles and their importance to humanity, 
when once they hear the theory correctly 
expounded. 

Metaphysical healing is a Science because 
its theory is Knowledge founded on general 
truths and principles from which it is derived. 



It is a Philosophy because it deals with 
Powers, Causes, Laws and Reasons. 

It is Metaphysical, for the reason that it is 
a Science of Being,* dealing mathematically 
with the known laws of life; hence, it is a 
branch of Metaphysics, and for the reason 
that its working hypothesis is constructed 
upon mathematical principles, and has been 
conclusively proved in practice, it is exact 
in construction, and may be relied upon to 
produce exact results under right conditions. 
Those who disbelieve this statement have 
not been correctly informed, or have tested 
it, if at all, under wrong or insufficient con- 
ditions. Every exact law requires test con- 
ditions of equal exactness, without which it 
cannot be fairly examined. 

This philosophy rests upon the scientific 
facts of the Universe, and is of too serious 
import to mankind to be hastily brushed 
aside ; it is worthy of the most earnest ex- 
amination by every fair-minded individual. 

Power to act under its theory rests wholly 
upon an intelligent comprehension of prin- 
ciples. 

Efficiency in practice depends upon com- 
pliance with those principles.

and quickening desire for knowledge as no 
other influence can, together with the de- 
velopment of a consciousness of right which 
is invaluable in a child's mental training. 

Nurses and others engaged in caring for 
the sick find here the one element that is 
most needed in their difficult position; i. e., 
an understanding of the mind of the 
patient and how to control its morbid 
action. Nurses who have such understand- 
ing invariably succeed in their calling to a 
degree that others cannot. 

The intemperate who desire to reform, 
but have not the control necessary to suc- 
ceed, may be cured by removal of the real 
cause of their desire for unnatural stimu- 
lant, by one who rightly understands this 
method of treatment. 

All of these features are thoroughly 
taught in this course of study, and success- 
fully practiced by graduates. 

No one who has intelligently and con- 
scientiously studied these principles has ever 
been found willing to dispense with the 
knowledge thus attained; neither do any 
regret either the time, the effort or the 
cost necessary for the most thorough in- 
vestigation.

— e are plain facts which honest 
inquiry among those of your own acquaint- 
ance who have rightly examined, and there- 
fore know, the basis of the philosophy, will 
verify. 

Do not wrong yourself by attempting to 
pass hasty judgment based upon the erro- 
neous opinion of those who have not so ex- 
amined, therefore do not know the depth 
and importance of its teaching, but inquire 
of those who have thus learned, examine 
the evidence carefully and judge without 
prejudice. If you do this conscientiously 
you will find that what they have you 
also want, for the principles taught are 
the very essence of your own being. 



PLAN OF THE COURSE. 

In response to a large and increasing 
demand for information in regard to these 
facts of law, and how to employ them for 
the good of humanity, this course of 
instruction has been prepared with a view 
to completeness in detail of information 
and thoroughness in training for practice 
rather than to the attractiveness of a short 
course of study at a low price, which would 
be certain to result in various shortcomings 
and consequent dissatisfaction in the end. 

Better, not cheaper, is the need of the 
hour in Metaphysical instruction. 

The principal features in the original 
plan of this course are as follows : 

i st. Thoroughness in presentation of 
theory. 

2d. Completeness in detail of the prac- 
tical application of the . principles to 
the act of healing. 

3d. The employment of Logic as an 
instrument in formation of thought for 
definite expression of Ideas. 

4th. The development of the higher 



sense faculties of Intuition and Per- 
ception, which every individual is in 
possession of, but which few compre- 
hend the scope and power of. 

5th. The practice of analysis before con- 
clusion in dealing with Ideas which are 
new, thus developing the faculty of 
reason in a high degree, which when 
properly combined with intuition, with 
the conclusions carefully tested in 
practice, develops ability to examine 
and prove either the truth or falsity of 
any proposition, thus becoming inde- 
pendent of opinion and its frequent 
errors. 

6th. Illustration of the harmony under 
mathematical law of the relations of 
metaphysical principles. 

7th. Demonstration of the following 
important truths : 

a. The eternal unity of Being. 

b. The real union of Intelligence and 
Love. 

c. The relation of human Life to divine 
Being. 

d. The true nature of Force and Power. 

e. The Influence of Fear on the mental 
faculties and its reactionary effect upon 
the nervous system, together with the 
consequent result to the physical system, 
in sickness. 



/ The true nature of the idea of 
Disease. 

g. The mental causes of various forms 
of Disease and their right mental remedies. 

h. The Correspondence between Cause 
and Effect in the generation of Disease. 

The elucidation of the more intricate 
problems is made clear by the use of models 
which represent mathematical laws and 
express the true relations of those meta- 
physical principles which underlie all life 
and action. Correct concepts of ideas of 
vital importance are thus aroused in mind 
and permanent impression made ensuring 
remembrance. 

An extensive set of original Charts and 
blackboard illustrations is a special feature 
of this explanation. 

Each pupil is furnished with a copy of 
the author's Chart of Being, which explains 
the relation of attributes, and contains the 
foundation of the plan on which the theory 
is presented to learners. 

Graduates are admitted as listeners free of 
charge, to succeeding classes in the same 
grade, which amounts to a review of the 
lessons. 



COPIES OF NOTES. 

Pupils who so desire are supplied with 
full MS. copies of the Author's Notes as 
used in the class, containing the Theory and 
Practice, Correspondence between Cause 
and Effect, Metaphysical Diagnostication, 
original instructions for treating and other 
subject matter of equal importance to the 
pupil, who can thus have the entire instruc- 
tion so far as it has been put on paper, 
for ready reference in continuing his studies 
and in treating. 

This work has not been published, neither 
is there to be found any equal collection of 
information on this subject in any published 
work ; it contains the results of the author's 
studies and investigations, together with the 
practical knowledge gained through an ex- 
tensive and successful practice. 

The notes are supplied only to members 
of these classes, under contract for individ- 
ual use only; this becomes necessary in an 
unpublished work, in order that the author's 
literary rights may be preserved for future 
use of the subject matter. 

Written permission will be given for all 
legitimate uses. 



REQUIREMENTS. 

Experience has demonstrated that the 
following requirements are absolutely essen- 
tial to success: 

i st. Ordinary physical health. 

2d. Interest in and desire to know the 
subject. 

3d. Freedom from prejudice with will- 
ingness to investigate solely for the 
sake of knowledge. No progress is 
made by him who is already anchored 
to opinion. 

Those not in enjoyment of health should 
first receive the necessary treatment, that 
the mental faculties may be clear and active, 
otherwise unnecessary effort is made. 

In important cases healing is better ac- 
complished through treatment than through 
study, but health is retained through the 
many vicissitudes of life by means of the 
knowledge gained in study. 



The Science of Metaphysical Healing is 
taught by Mr. Whipple to private classes as 
follows : 

Complete primary course of 21 
lessons, payable on entering the 
class, - $100.00 

Two relatives living together are 
received for one fee. 

Permanent use of MS. copy of 
notes (optional), payable in ad- 
vance, _____ 25.00 

The notes cannot be copied or loaned. 

All copies necessary for legitimate uses will 
be furnished. 

Those submitting evidence of inability 
to pay, as well as that they desire and are 
ready to receive the instruction, can make 
satisfactory arrangements to enter the class 
by applying one week in advance. 



MEMBERSHIP. 

Applications for membership may be 
entered at any time, and should state whether 
attendance can best be made at an after- 
noon or an evening class. 

Names of applicants will be entered in 
the general list in the order in which they 
are received for afternoon or evening class. 

When the date for the next class is fixed 
upon, an announcement will be mailed to 
each name in the general list of applicants ; 
direct application should then be made at 
once in order to secure membership in that 
class. 

A personal interview must be had at least 
one day in advance of the opening of the 
class, with all applicants unknown to us, and 
the application must be endorsed by some 
mutual acquaintance. 

Unendorsed strangers will not be ad- 
mitted to the class.

THE QUESTION CLASS 

Is a permanent organization, including in its 
membership graduates from all of Mr. Whipple's 
classes. 

Meetings are held at 32S Madison Avenue on 
occasional afternoons and evenings throughout 
the season each year for the purpose of the asking 
and answering of such questions as may arise in 
the experience of each one in regard to the theory 
and practice of Metaphysical healing, for read- 
ings and lectures on special Metaphysical subjects 
of importance in continued study, and for general 
discussion of kindred subjects. 

Meetings are free to members; there are no 
expenses. 

Mr. Whipple presides at all meetings. 

Graduates from the primary class become mem- 
bers by virtue of their graduation. 

This enables those who so desire to continue 
the study indefinitely by complying with necessary 
regulations of the meetings. 

The subject is one of growing importance and 
is yet in its infancy; valuable information is con- 
tinually coming to the surface through the earnest 
thought that is now being brought to bear upon 
mind and its hitherto almost unrecognized powers. 

The Question Class, in its continued meetings, 
offers unequalled advantages for keeping pace 
with progress, as well as for individual assistance 
in the work. 



THE METAPHYSICAL SOCIETY 

Is an association of men and women organized 
for the purpose of extending the stud} 7 of Meta- 
physics into the wider scientific fields, making 
scientific investigation of the various phenomena 
encountered, etc., for the good of humanity and 
for the general dissemination of knowledge. 

It is pledged to calm, unprejudiced investigation 
of facts for truth's own sake. 

The present membership includes about fifty 
persons. 

The Society has a Library of Metaphysical 
Literature which is free to members. 

Several permanent committees are now at work 
and will report at meetings. 

Regular meetings are held in the Society rooms, 
No. 328 Madison Avenue, monthly. 

Literary exercises of interest, on Metaphysical 
subjects, are a feature of the meetings. 

Graduates from Mr. Whipple's classes who so 
desire are generally prepared to pass examination 
for membership, other considerations being 
equal. 

Any further information desired will be given 
upon application to the Secretary at 

328 Madtson Ave. 

New York City.-
